Thread: PM scoffs at Pulo's threat to hit cities

Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday poured scorn on a threat by the Pattani United Liberation Organisation (Pulo) to attack Bangkok and Phuket, saying it was just propaganda. Mr Thaksin downplayed rumours that the insurgent group based in the South was ready to switch its targets from the southern region to major cities such as Bangkok and Phuket.

The threat was brought to light following a recent interview of a senior member of Pulo with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
But Mr Thaksin said the group had no capability to carry out such attacks.
National police chief Gen Kowit Wattana and Supreme Commander Gen Ruengroj Mahasaranont shared the prime minister's view, saying the rumours would prove groundless. Gen Ruengroj urged the public to have faith in the security forces.
